I'm really excited to finally announce the release of my second album.
Let me just say first of all that I'm incredibly proud of this album. In a way it sort of feels like redemption after my disappointment in 'Everybody Wins'.  I produced my own beats and practiced for hours on end. I took in everything I listen to and put it into my own music. I wanted to experiment with different sounds, genres and artists and try different styles and themes, whilst still maintaining a clear-cut concept. I also drew some inspiration from some of my favourite Disney films and animes, which I've recently fallen in love with. Everything I set out to do for this project, I've accomplished and I want to thank Martyn, Sarah, Frank, Javan and Alex for helping me to do so.
Emotionally, I also had an extremely difficult time working on this project. I will admit openly that I overthink everything, I'm always doubting and criticising myself and I have a lot of regrets about how I've acted and dealt with things in the past. It's no secret that a lot has happened in the past couple of years and with that in mind I've had to take a long, hard look at who I am and be brutally honest with myself, which is one of the hardest things anyone can do. It's no exaggeration when I tell you that I put EVERYTHING into this project and working on it was my therapy. And now that it's completed, I hope that it'll be someone else's too.
This album is dedicated to everyone who has suffered as a result of COVID-19, mentally or otherwise. It's also dedicated to my family, my friends and my two biggest influences - my Mum and Dad. 
"Food for Overthought", the new album from PanthaDogg, available for streaming everywhere. 
Bon appétit. 🎂🎂🎂

no one

Verse 1:
You look so fucking attractive
Standing there, laughing bare, discussing my actions
Just a fraction can't calculate the measurements of this
And maybe that's my deficit
I don't stand a chance with you and that tears my heart in two
I should try and find a compromise but I can't with you
These emotions will only consolidate
And it's only so much I can tolerate
I thought giving myself space would close the distance
But this pain I'm in is greater than the Solar System
I'm trying to pull you towards my orbit
But I can't afford it and I push you away
And I fall and disintegrate on the ground you baptize
I've fallen for you so deep I'm about to capsize
Try to resist but inside I'm ballistic
I'm being realistic, I've already missed it
There goes my shot on your side of the forecourt
I overthink everything with not much forethought
And I'm fucking sick to death of it
Being second best is not my prequisite
I look at you and feel things beyond my comprehension
Along with things I should have said and just forgot to mention
Suck it up and put on a smile, you know the lingo
I set the bar too high, now I'm stuck in limbo 

Chorus:
I could stare at this same spot for days
God forbid the day comes that I forgot your face
I try hard to not revert to my hurtful ways
Turn your head this way and I avert my gaze
And maybe I'm just going through a phase
But there's so many things I need to say
I just pray and I pray that you won't go away
I pray and I pray that you won't go away 

Post-Chorus:
I can't let it go
There's so much you don't know 
Even though you can't stay
Just know I won't go away 

Verse 2:
I've been planting my seeds to reap the rewards
Spurring on the growth I need to reform
I'm only here to perform and plant my flag 
Photosynthesized and I can't look back
I don't understand why things ain't so straightforward
I'd hate to make a grave mistake but I ain't flawless
Don't make me spell it out like a super sharpshooter
Charge through the can't-do-its, dance through the stars to this
I used to think it was me but she was the problem
I was out of her fucking league, she was Tottenham
I did what I did and it was perfectly appropriate
Now I'm hooked onto you like opiates
And all the while you remain oblivious
Your smile shouldn't be that divine, it's ridiculous
It's a pain in the arse you can't be psychic
Cause then you would see everything the same way I did
Close my eyes at night and you're lying beside me
In the prone position of your own volition
Then I wake up the next morning back to existence
Trapped by the fact that you've captured my system
Hacked into my hardware and planted yourself
Into the deepest corners of my consciousness
It's nonsense but for once I discovered the piece of the puzzle 

Chorus:
I could stare at this same spot for days
God forbid the day comes that I forgot your face
I try hard to not revert to my hurtful ways
Turn your head this way and I avert my gaze
And maybe I'm just going through a phase
But there's so many things I need to say
I just pray and I pray that you won't go away
I pray and I pray that you won't go away 

Post-Chorus:
I can't let it go
There's so much you don't know 
Even though you can't stay
Just know I won't go away

Won't Go Away

I'm very proud to release my first single of the year.

Life's been a bit of a mess. The NHS is on its knees, our people are barely making enough to make ends meet, the prices of everything are skyrocketing and the people in charge are a bunch of fucking clowns who really don't care about us, so long as their pockets are being filled. It's time for a change. We need to stand up for ourselves and what we believe in. Always be on the alert for anyone trying to screw you out of what you deserve. We shouldn't be fighting and hurting each other. As soon as we start turning on one another, we're doomed. Instead let's direct the blame at the idiots who got us into this mess. If our broken government won't help us, it's time for us to help ourselves. As a very wise man once said; be alert. Because now more than ever, Britain needs lerts. 

Big shout out to @precinctphantom for his contribution to this track, this guy is an incredibly talented MC who just puts out banger after banger and always changes it up every time. I can't thank him enough. Go on Spotify and stream his albums "14axiom", "Punk2ation" and "So Many Wheels". Buy his merch, subscribe to him on YouTube and show him some love. And a big thank you to @icawick87 from @playing_aloud for the mixing and mastering. 🤘

"Lertz", with Precinct Phantom, OUT NOW!! 🖲🔥🖲🔥

Lertz (with Precinct Phantom)

This song is about male mental health issues.

Blokes

O (Intro)

This song is my favourite from the EP. It's about my Dad and it took me 14 months to write.

Never Slept

Easier

Won't Go Away - Acoustic Version

Better Than I Was Before

This song is about phone anxiety and took me two years to write.

Don't Call Me

"You Stay I Go" is a song about being in a place where you don't belong and realising you have to leave, even though it's incredibly hard. It was a year ago on the 15th July that I moved back home to Lincoln after closing the door on a life and career that wasn't right for me. It was one of the hardest things I'd ever done but it was ultimately the right decision. I've put so much into this new song and I hope that anyone who's found themselves in a similar position will feel the same amount of catharsis listening to it as I have writing and releasing it.
"You Stay I Go" is partly inspired by Ishi, the last member of the Yahi tribe who died in 1916. I felt a powerful connection between his situation and mine at the time.
